Chapter 1288
Lucas kept reminding himself over and over that he couldn’t be selfish.
Aurora had her own path to follow, and he had no right to stand in her way.
“It’s fine. Whatever you want to do, go ahead with confidence. I’ll always back you up.”
He added quietly, “And if there’s ever something you want to do but don’t know how, just tell me. If it’s within my power, I’ll help you.”
“Don’t worry, if I need you, I’ll come to you.”
Aurora’s heart warmed as she looked at his earnest expression.
She thought back to when she had rented a place without asking him, and how frantic he’d been afterward.
Ever since then, he had kept insisting she come to him for anything.
She knew that was his way of wanting to feel needed, to play a part in helping her.
She remembered once teasing him about coming to help at her studio and how he had agreed without hesitation.
That had truly surprised her. Sometimes she didn’t even dare to joke with him, because he always took her words to heart.
That was why she often avoided troubling Lucas. Everyone had their own life to live; being married didn’t mean chaining each other down.
And Aurora refused to let Grace’s behavior weigh her down.

That woman, stripped of Daniel’s project, might lash out in ways no one could predict. What if she turned on Aurora and he wasn’t there to stop it?
